AlIsra

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

1. Glorified be He who took His
servant (Muhammad) for a
journey by night from the
Sacred Mosque to the Farthest
Mosque, the surroundings
whereof We have blessed, that
We might show him of Our
signs. Indeed, He (Allah) is the
All Hearer, the All Seer.
2. And We gave Moses the
Scripture, and We made it a
guidance for the Children of
Israel, (saying): “Take not other
than Me as a guardian.”
3. (They were) the descendants
of those whom We carried (in
the ship) with Noah. Indeed, he
was a grateful servant.
4. And We decreed for the
Children of Israel in the
Scripture that indeed you would
cause corruption on the earth
twice, and you would surely be
elated with mighty arrogance.
5. Then when the (time of)
promise came for the first of
the two, We sent against you
servants of Ours, of great might.
So they entered the very
innermost parts of your homes.
And it was a promise fulfilled.
6. Then we gave back to you a
return (victory) over them, and
We helped you with wealth and
sons and We made you more
numerous in manpower.
7. (Saying): “If you do good, you
do good for yourselves, and if
you do evil, so it is for them
(who do it).” Then, when the
final (second) promise came,
(We raised against you other
enemies) to disfigure your faces,
and to enter the temple as they
entered it the first time, and to
destroy what they took over,
with (utter) destruction.
8. It may be that your Lord
will have mercy upon you. And
if you revert (to sin), We shall
revert (to punishment). And We
have made Hell a prison for the
disbelievers.
9. Indeed, this Quran guides
to that which is most just
and gives good tidings to the
believers who do righteous
deeds that theirs will be a
great reward.

10. And that those who do

not believe in the Hereafter, We
have prepared for them a
painful punishment.
11. And man supplicates for
evil as he supplicates for good.
And man is ever hasty.
12. And We have made the night
and the day as two signs. Then
We have obscured the sign of
the night, and made the sign of
the day radiant that you may
seek the bounty of your Lord,
and that you may know the
numbers of the years, and the
account (of time). And every
thing We explained in details.
13. And to every man, We have
fastened his fate to his neck. And
We shall bring forth for him on
the Day of Resurrection a book
which he will find spread open.
14. (It will be said): “Read your
book. Sufficient is your self this
Day against you as a reckoner.”
15. Whoever is guided, so he
is guided only for his own self.
And whoever goes astray, so he
goes astray only against his
(self). And no bearer of burdens
will bear another's burden.
And We would never punish
until We have sent a messenger.
16. And when We intend to
destroy a town, We command
its affluent, so they commit
abomination therein, then the
word (decree) is justified
against it, then We destroy it
with (complete) destruction.
17. And how many have We
destroyed from the generations
after Noah. And Sufficient is
your Lord of the sins of His
servants as Knower, All Seer.
18. Whoever should desire what
hastens away (worldly life), We
hasten for him therein what We
will, for whom We intend. Then
We have appointed for him Hell.
He will (enter to) burn therein,
condemned, rejected.
19. And whoever desires the
Hereafter and strives for it with
the effort due to it, while he is a
believer, then it is those whose
effort shall be appreciated.
20. To each We bestow, these
and (as well as) those, from the
bounty of your Lord. And the
bounty of your Lord can not be
restricted.
21. Look how We have
exalted some of them above
others, and the Hereafter will be
greater in degrees and greater
in preference.
22. Do not make with Allah
any other god, (O man) lest you
will sit in humiliated, forsaken.
23. And your Lord has decreed
that you worship none except
Him, and (show) kindness to
parents. If they attain old age
(while) with you, one of them or
both of them, say not to them a
word of disrespect, nor shout at
them, and speak to them a
gracious word.
24. And lower unto them the
wing of submission through
mercy, and say: “My Lord, have
mercy on them both as they did
care for me (when I was) little.”
25. Your Lord is best aware of
what is within yourselves. If
you should be righteous, then
indeed He is ever Forgiving to
those who turn (to Him).
26. And give to the near of kin
his right, and the needy, and the
wayfarer, and squander not
(your wealth) extravagantly.
27. Indeed, the squanderers are
brothers of Satan, and Satan is
ever ungrateful to his Lord.

28. And if you have to turn

away from them (needy),
awaiting mercy from your Lord,
which you expect, then speak to
them a word of easy kindness.
29. And Do not keep your
hand fastened to your neck,
nor outspread it altogether
widespread, for you will then be
sitting rebuked, destitute.
30. Indeed, your Lord enlarges
the provision for whom He wills,
and straitens (it for whom He
wills). Indeed, He is All Knower,
All Seer of His servants.
31. And do not kill your
children for fear of poverty. We
provide for them and for you.
Indeed, the killing of them is a
great sin.
32. And do not come near to
adultery. Indeed, it is an
abomination and an evil way.
33. And do not kill a person,
whom Allah has forbidden,
except by right. And one who is
killed wrongfully, We indeed
have granted his heir the
authority (of retribution), so let
him not exceed limits in (the
matter of) taking life. He shall
be surely helped (by the law).
34. And do not go near the
wealth of the orphan, except
that it be in the best manner
until he comes to his strength
(maturity). And fulfill the
covenant. Indeed, the covenant,
will be questioned about.
35. And give full measure
when you measure, and weigh
with a balance that is straight.
That is fair, and better in
consequence.
36. And do not follow that of
which you have no knowledge.
Indeed, the hearing, and the
sight, and the heart, each of
these shall be called to account.
37. And do not walk upon the
earth in arrogance. Indeed, you
can never tear the earth (apart),
and never can you reach to the
mountains in height.
38. All such (things), its evil
is hateful in the sight of your
Lord.
39. That is from what your
Lord has revealed to you (O
Muhammad) from the wisdom.
And (O mankind) do not take
with Allah any other god, lest
you are thrown into Hell,
blameworthy, abandoned.
40. Has your Lord then chosen
you for (having) sons, and has
taken (for Himself) daughters
from among the angels. Indeed,
you utter a dreadful saying.
41. And indeed, We have fully
explained in this Quran that
they may take admonition, but
it does not increase them except
in aversion.
42. Say (O Muhammad): “If
there had been (other) gods
along with Him, as they say,
then they would have sought a
way to the Lord of the Throne.”
43. Glory be to Him, and He
is high above what they say,
Exalted and Great.
44. The seven heavens and the
earth and whatever is therein
glorify Him. And there is not
a thing but glorifies His praise,
but you do not understand
their glorification. Indeed, He is
ever Clement, Forgiving.
45. And when you recite the
Quran, we place between you
and those who do not believe
in the Hereafter, a hidden
barrier.
46. And We have placed upon
their hearts coverings, lest they
should understand it, and in
their ears a deafness. And when
you make mention of your Lord
alone in the Quran, they turn on
their backs in aversion.
47. We know best of what
they listen to, when they listen
to you and when they take
secret counsel. When the wrong
doers say: “You follow none
but a man bewitched.”

48. Look how they put forward

for you similitudes. So they
have gone astray, then they can
not find a way.
49. And they say: “When we
are bones and fragments, shall
we really be resurrected (to be)
a new creation.”
50. Say (O Muhammad): “Be
you stones or iron.”
51. “Or some created thing
that is yet greater in your
breasts.” Then they will say:
“Who shall bring us back (to
life).” Say: “He who created you
in the first instance.” Then
they will shake their heads at
you, and say: “When will it
be.” Say: “perhaps it is near.”
52. On the day (when) He will
call you, then you will answer
with His praise, and you will
think that you had not stayed
(in the world) except for a little.
53. And say to My servants
to speak that which is best.
Indeed, Satan sows discord
among them. Indeed, Satan is
to mankind a clear enemy.
54. Your Lord knows you best.
If He wills, He will have mercy
upon you, or if He wills, He will
punish you. And We have not
sent you (O Muhammad) over
them as a guardian.
55. And your Lord knows best
of whoever is in the heavens
and the earth. And indeed, We
have preferred some of the
prophets above others, and to
David We gave the Psalms.

56. Say: “Call unto those

whom you claim (to be gods)
besides Him. For they have no
power to remove the adversity
from you, nor to shift it.”
57. Those unto whom they call
upon, are themselves seeking to
their Lord the means of access,
as to which of them should be
the nearest, and they hope for
His mercy and they fear His
punishment. Surely, punishment
of your Lord is to be feared.
58. And there is not a
township but that We shall
destroy it before the Day of
Resurrection, or punish it with
a severe punishment. This is
written down in the Book (of
our decrees).
59. And nothing prevented Us
from sending signs but that the
people of old denied them. And
We gave Thamud the she-camel,
a clear sign, but they wronged
her. And We send not the signs
except to cause (people to) fear.
60. And (O Muhammad) when
We said to you: “Indeed,
your Lord has encompassed
mankind.” And We did not
make the vision which We
have shown you except as a
trial for mankind, and the
tree accursed in the Quran.
And We warn them, but it
increases them not except in
greater transgression.
61. And when We said to the
angels: “Prostrate unto Adam,”
so they fell prostrate except
Iblis. He said: “Shall I
prostrate to one whom You
created from clay.”
62. He (Iblis) said: “See You,
this one whom You have
honored above me, if You give
me respite until the Day of
Resurrection, I will surely seize
his offspring, (all) except a few.”
63. He (Allah) said: “Go, so
whoever of them follows you,
then indeed Hell will be
your recompense, an ample
recompense.”
64. “And entice whoever you can
among them, with your voice,
and make assaults on them with
your cavalry and your infantry,
and be a partner with them in
wealth and children, and
promise them.” And Satan does
not promise them except deceit.

65. “Indeed, My servants, you

have no authority over them.
And sufficient is your Lord as a
Guardian.”
66. (O mankind), your Lord is
He who drives for you the ship
upon the sea that you may seek
of His bounty. Indeed, He is ever
Merciful towards you.
67. And when distress touches
you at sea, those whom you
call upon vanish except Him.
But when He brings you safe to
land, you turn away. And man
is ever ungrateful.
68. Then do you feel secure that
He will not cause a part of the
land to swallow you, or send a
sand-storm upon you, then you
will not find a protector for you.
69. Or do you feel secure that
He will not return you into
that (the sea) a second time,
and send upon you a hurricane
of wind and drown you for
your ingratitude. Then you
will not find for yourselves
any avenger therein against Us.

70. And indeed, We have

honored the children of Adam,
and We have carried them on
the land and the sea, and We
have provided them with good
things, and We have preferred
them above many of those whom
We created, (a sure) preference.
71. The day (when) We shall
summon all mankind with their
leaders (or their record of
deeds). Then whoever is given
his book in his right hand, such
will read their book and they
will not be wronged a shred.
72. And whoever is blind (to see
the truth) in this (life), he will be
blind in the Hereafter, and even
farther astray from the path.
73. And they were about to
tempt you away from that which
We have revealed (the Quran)
to you (O Muhammad), that you
should invent other than it
against Us, and then they would
surely have taken you a friend.
74. And if We had not
strengthened you, you might
have inclined to them a little.
75. Then, We should have made
you taste a double (punishment)
in this life and a double
(punishment) after death, then
you would have found none to
help you against Us.
76. And they were about to scare
you off the land that they might
drive you out from there. And
then they would not have stayed
(there) after you but a little.
77. (Such was Our) way for
those whom We had sent before
you (O Muhammad) among the
messengers. And you will not
find any change in Our way.
78. Establish prayer from the
decline of the sun to the
darkness of the night, and
(recite) the Quran at dawn.
Indeed, (reciting) the Quran at
dawn is ever witnessed.
79. And at night, wake up and
pray with (Quran) it, an
additional prayer for you. It
may be that your Lord will raise
you to an honored position.
80. And say: “My Lord, cause to
enter me with a true entrance,
and to exit me with a true exit.
And grant me supporting
authority from Your presence.”
81. And say: “Truth has come
and falsehood has vanished
away. Indeed, falsehood is ever
bound to vanish.”
82. And We send down of the
Quran that which is a healing
and a mercy for those who
believe. And it does not increase
but loss to the wrong doers.
83. And when We bestow favor
upon man, he turns away and
drifts off to one side. And when
evil touches him, he is in
despair.
84. Say: “Each one does
according to his rule of conduct.
And your Lord knows best him
who is best guided on the way.”
85. And they ask you about
the soul. Say: “The soul is by
the command of my Lord. And
you have not been given of the
knowledge except a little.”
86. And if We willed, We could
surely take away that which We
have revealed to you, then you
would not find for you in that
respect a defender against Us.
87. Except as a mercy from
your Lord. Indeed, His kindness
upon you is ever great.
88. Say: “Surely, if men and
jinn were to get together to
produce the like of this Quran,
they will not (be able to)
produce the like of it, even if
some of them were helpers to
others.”
89. And indeed, We have fully
explained for mankind in this
Quran every kind of similitude,
but most mankind refuse
(anything) except disbelief.
90. And they say: “We shall
never believe you until you cause
to gush forth for us from the
earth a spring.”
91. “Or you have a garden of
date-palms and grapes, and
cause rivers to gush forth, in
their midst, abundantly.”
92. “Or you cause the heaven
to fall upon us in pieces, as
you have claimed, or you bring
Allah and the angels before
(us) face to face.”

93. “Or you have a house of

gold, or you ascend up into
heaven, and (even then) we will
never believe in your ascension
until you bring down to us a
book that we can read.” Say (O
Muhammad): “Glory be to my
Lord. Am I (anything) but a
man, (sent as) a Messenger.”
94. And nothing prevented
mankind from believing when
the guidance came to them
except that they said: “Has
Allah sent a human being as
messenger.”
95. Say: “If there were in
the earth angels walking in
peace, We would surely have
sent down to them an angel from
the heavens as messenger.”
96. Say: “Sufficient is Allah
as a witness between me and
you. Indeed, He is the Knower,
the Seer of His servants.”
97. And he whom Allah guides,
so he is rightly guided. And he
whom He sends astray, you will
never find for them protectors
besides Him. And We shall
assemble them on the Day of
Resurrection on their faces,
blind, and dumb, and deaf.
Their habitation will be Hell.
Whenever it abates, We shall
increase the flame for them.
98. That is their recompense
because they disbelieved in Our
verses and said: “When we are
bones and fragments, shall we
be raised up as a new creation.”
99. Have they not seen that
Allah, who created the heavens
and the earth is Able to create
the like of them. And He has
decreed for them an appointed
term, whereof there is no doubt.
But the wrong doers refuse
(anything) except disbelief.

100. Say: “If you owned the

treasures of the mercy of my
Lord, behold, you would surely
hold them back for fear of
spending.” And man is ever
grudging.
101. And indeed, We gave to
Moses nine clear signs. Ask then
the Children of Israel, when he
came to them, then Pharaoh
said to him: “Indeed, I consider
you, O Moses, one bewitched.”

102. He (Moses) said:

“Certainly, you know that no
one has sent down these (signs)
except the Lord of the heavens
and the earth as evidence. And
indeed I think of you, O
Pharaoh, as doomed.”
103. So he intended to scare
them away from the land,
then We drowned him and
those with him, all together.

104. And We said, after him,

to the Children of Israel: “Dwell
in the land, then when the
promise of the Hereafter comes
to pass, We shall bring you forth
as one gathering .
105. And with truth have We
sent it (Quran) down, and with
truth has it descended. And We
have not sent you but a bearer of
good tidings and a warner.
106. And (it is) a Quran that We
have divided (into parts), that
you may recite it to mankind at
intervals. And We have sent it
down as a successive revelation.
107. Say: “Believe in it, or do
not believe.” Indeed, those who
were given knowledge before it,
when it is recited to them, they
fall down upon their faces in
prostration.
108. And they say: “Glory be to
our Lord. Surely, the promise
of our Lord must be fulfilled.”
109. And they fall down upon
their faces, weeping, and it
increases humility in them.
AsSajda
110. Say: “Call upon Allah, or
call upon the Beneficent. By
whichever (name) you call upon.
To Him belong the best names.
And (O Muhammad), do not
recite (too) loudly in your
prayer, and be not (too) quiet in
it, but seek between it a way.”
111. And say: “Praise be to
Allah, who has not taken to
Himself a son, and He has no
partner in the sovereignty, and
He has no (need of) a protector
out of weakness. And magnify
Him with all magnificence.”
